A leap into the unknown Bangladesh

Travelling and knowing the unknown has always been a great source of pleasure and enjoyment for me. A few days ago, i went to visit a historic place named " Balihar Rajbari ". It was a Palace of a lost Kingdom. It was built in 1296 ! That was a very adventurous trip for me. Because the Palace was restricted place to enter for public. The condition of the palace was very vulnerable. It could fall down at any time . But we entered into the main building from the back side secretly. And what i saw there was totally surprising and shocking ! There was breaking walls and pillars everywhere , dead cats and dogs , declining monuments. It was just 2 pm but the rooms was so dark that it seemed like midnight in the rooms . Then we reached to the centre fountain in tge hall room . Suddenly it came my mind that time is very cruel and brutal ! Just imagine how colourful and joyful the palace was 500 years ago ! How passionate the king was ro build this building ! How was the days ! How was the people ! Was the queen so beautiful ! How many people were hanged to death here ! Was the princess so beautiful ! how many war took place there !! Who knows !!! !! And today only bat flies here ! Where is the king ! Where is his empire !! I think the palace will fall down after some years ! But the stories behind it !? The characters behind it !? the sacrifices behind it !? And the queens !! R.I.P beautiful stories ! Obviously It was a risky journey for me. But it took me hundreds years back to the wave of history . So, it's welcome back to reality from 500 years back !
